Looking forward to pubs reopening? Here’s what we hope will happen.

On April 12 - Restaurants and pub gardens will be allowed to serve customers sitting outdoors - including alcohol. Customers can meet in a group of up to six people from different households; a maximum of two households can meet to form a group of any size.

Then, starting May 17, Hospitality venues can seat customers indoors; parties can be made up of a maximum of six people or two households of any size.

Bear in mind these dates are the earliest opening dates and are dependent on Coronavirus rates reducing as expected.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been documenting just a few.
